The telephone communications was restored in the Sakhalin city of Nevelsk, which was hit by a devastating earthquake. Chief of the Nevelsk district emergencies department Georgy Glukhov told Itar-Tass by phone that ten buildings, which could not be repaired, have been pulled down in the city so far. According to Glukhov, people “are still afraid of spending nights in their apartments, at night several hundreds of people come to sleep in compartment cars, more than 200 people are still accommodated at the tent camp.” Meanwhile, no strong tremors were registered for the past day. On August 2, a strong earthquake rocked southern Sakhalin. An earthquake with a magnitude of 6-7 points was registered in Nevelsk. Two people died, another 12 were gravely wounded in the earthquake. The Far Eastern regional emergencies center believes that 214 apartment blocks cannot be reconstructed in Nevelsk. It is necessary to demolish them and build new apartment blocks, which will be able to resist an earthquake with a magnitude of nine points.
